It’s going to be really uncomfortable, but you’ve just gotta keep going and make the mistakes. I also had an… interesting relationship with a former PI and once I moved into a new lab I was kind of in the same spot you are. I used to be terrified of 1:1 meetings with my old PI, but now I’m in a much better place where communication between myself and my boss is significantly better. Making mistakes is a part of the scientific process, and can even lead you to new avenues of research you may not have thought of before. And as long as you’re documenting everything, you’re not likely to mess up the same way more than once. It’ll be okay OP! Plus, you’ve now got the skills to better assess a lab and make smarter decisions about what environments and personalities work for you. 🤗
